MESSAGE FROM GENERAL SECRETARY
(07-04-2012)
Comrades,
The heat and dust has settled down in Nanded. The SNEA stalwarts
have gone home. I am sure not for rest. But for another innings. Full
of strength. Full of courage. Full of determination. They know that the
battle goes on. They know that the struggle must continue. That is why
anyone and everyone would love to be their captain. And this time the
mantle has fallen on me. I accept it with grace, with gratitude and atthe same time with all humility. I am aware of the huge responsibility
that I carry on my shoulders. But then again it gives me dignity and
honor because this great force will all stand with me- stand by me. And
hence the responsibility becomes no burden but a blessing with so many
courageous hands and hearts to boost me up.
Perhaps a mixture of various feelings and emotions engulf my heart when
I write these first few lines as the General Secretary of the greatest
Association. Yes, indeed I am honored and privileged to be chosen to
lead the Executives of BSNL for the next term. I do not propose to
weigh my credentials but I am confident that I have an inner strength
and a great will to work hardest that will surely stand me in good stead
. But for sure, it is the wholehearted support of my colleagues, and
more so, the grass-root member that eggs on my inner strength and
confidence. Yes, Comrades, I have no doubt that you will not spare any
effort in strengthening me and the entire set of new office-bearers
taking charge of the Association. The times are not that good- with so
many problems staring us in the face, not only on our career front but
even more on the fortunes of BSNL. Our predecessors have definitelydone a magnificent job, but as they always reminded you the battle is
far from over. Rather it has but begun. The ITS absorption issue, the
E2,E3 –payscales, the CPSU cadre hierarchy, the lack of professional
and corruption-free Management , the negative policies of the
Government , the lack of concern for the social obligation met by BSNL

and many many more should hold our careful attention in the immediate
future. I am sure we will be able to tackle them with extreme care but
only with your unqualified support. I am sure you will be equal to the
requirements of our daily chores and cares.
I am slightly over-awed knowing fully well that we own a very great
legacy. Great leaders like Com. W.Sehagiri Rao and Com G.L.Jogi has
bequeathed us such a proud treasure that we may not be able to excel
but at least try to protect like the cornea of our eyes. You all know
and I need not repeat that it was Com. W.Sehagiri Rao, who brought
about the envious status of the JTO Cadre, with no other Executive/
Officer in a PSU/ Govt at our level equal to our status and stature. His
astute care and diligence in the consistent and persistent pursuance of
issues related to the cadre, won for it this once-thought impossible
glory. He not only laid this unassailable foundation but built on it an
equally magnificent structure which we all enjoy and even boast about.
But for his visionary foresight and heroic efforts , we today would not
be sharing this platform. Yes, SNEA was his brain-child, to which our
senior Comrades under the impressive, towering and unfailing leadership
of Com. G.L.Jogi, responded and co-operated equally well. Similarly
Com. G.L.Jogi, from whom I inherit the leadership, is such an
unforgettable and unassailable fighter and leader with no equals to be
found anywhere in the country. Absorption of Executives on terms and
conditions, in the company of Com. W.Sehagiri Rao, lateral promotions,
sweeping reforms in pay revision through interaction with the 2 nd pay
panel, BSNL MS RRs and MT RRs, which broke open the hitherto
existing bottleneck for promotions of senior Comrades are but some of
his most memorable achievements. Who can ever forget his courageous
and unrelenting fight against corruption in high places, exposing the 2G
scam, the 3G roaming issue, the misdeeds of ex- CMD, Dir (CM) etc?
His great concern for the financial viability of BSNL, the guiding spirit
of all his actions, has immensely contributed to the existence of BSNL
at least at this level, which otherwise would have been destroyed anddemolished by now. His fight with the Govt and its agencies for
protecting the fortunes of the BSNL both on the policy front and the
financial front are so daring that no one can match him. His video
interaction with Sri. Sam Pitroda during the open session of the
Nanded Conference alone would stand testimony to greatness of a leader

who cannot be surpassed by anyone else in the whole country. Yes,
indeed I consider it a great privilege and fortune to have him as our
CHQ President to lead us, guide us and be our mentor.
I would also treasure the valuable advices from all leaders, includingCom A.A.Khan, who unfortunately are not in our list of office-bearers.
Further, I seek the whole-hearted support of all Circle Secretaries, you
are so valuable and I would honestly be fair in all my dealings with you.
All our differences end with the conclusion of the democratic process at
Nanded.
I, once again, beseech the total support of all our leaders and grass-
root members to take this Association to further greatness, particularly
in these times of trouble and turmoil. Yes, I solicit your guidance, your
advice and even your criticisms. But there is just one rider to it. Letyour criticisms be positive and forward-looking to mend and correct our
ways; but never, never, destructive. Because I am just an ordinary,
fallible human being! Give me the ammunition and the strength for all
the ensuing battles- 24x7, 365 days in each year. On my part I
promise that I will never ever sleep letting your problems, issues and
rightful demands aside. As I have already stated we have all grown up
under towering leaders, who have no replacement , which simply means
that I need your extra strength, extra support.
Together we shall march to greater heights of glory. Yes, Comrades, I
am putting my foot forward strong, solid and firm, simply banking on
your strength, your extra care.
Comradely Yours,
K. Sebastin,
General Secretary.
